Biography
Hailed by THE NEW YORK TIMES MAGAZINE (March 19, 1989) as "Hollywood's Uncommon Everyman", Gene Hackman has enjoyed a productive career acting career for over four decades, moving assuredly from success on the New York stage in the late 1950s and early 60s to reliable character work in 60s films and TV to, some would say, unlikely acclaim as a Hollywood leading man in the 70s. Like Spencer Tracy, Hackman's natural manner and unglamorous Midwestern features helped give him a "regular guy" quality that encouraged audience identification with his persona of outraged decency and common sense. He has excelled in playing ordinary men caught up in moments of crisis. Impressively, Hackman has remained on the A-list well into his sixties. In the 80s and 90s, he fared well playing high-profile supporting roles and leads in various genres, displaying equal ease in comedies, dramas, Westerns and thrillers.
